You said in the FAQ that supernatural/superhuman powers are nullified upon arrival and that regular above-average traits are allowed, but what about super-strength/endurance with no supernatural origin that are technically within regular human acomplishment? More specifically, Shizuo has super strength (enough to rip out street signs and vending machines) and an extremely high pain threshold, and it's suggested that the super strength is more of a scientific thing in that his brain doesn't have the natural limiters that normal humans do that keep them from accessing their full strength potential at the risk of hurting themselves-- so he was able to lift buses, but hurt himself a lot because of it. In canon, he accumulates a high pain threshold/endurance over time since he kept hurting himself, so he no longer has the injury problem, but that's about as much as canon explains. They're technically in the realms of regular human abilitiy, but human ability regular humans shouldn't be able to regularly access like he can. Would these abilities be completely nerfed in favor of weapon upgrades, only mildly nerfed, or not at all?

The super strength/endurance is also an important part of his character and life experience, so I don't want to cheat or anything, but I don't want to change him too much from who he is in canon. So I suppose I could also seal away his knowledge of said abilities with memory loss?Sorry this is kind of complicated hahaha
